I would like to thank you all for your advice and concerns.

In response, I would like to assure you that the Heli's construction was inspected and calibrated by an experienced flier, although it was winter time and we couldn't test at the time. Since then, I have purchased the T9CHP controller and this person is no longer available to calibrate it for me. During the previous instance that I described the copter flew very smoothly and balanced.

I have been very very patient with it, and this point all I want to do is attach training gear on it and hover. I do know what a throttle and pitch curve is but I have never adjusted them.

I performed a pre-adjustment test to see if the copter ran smoothly, I was hoping to only get it a couple of inches off the ground (not nearly a hover) a set it back down to make sure the mechanics were correct, I found out they were not.

Therefore I ask the question again. Based on no lift on upward throttle and experiencing the lift while bringing the throttle down.

One possible issue mentioned was a reversed pitch servo, does this require a reverse setting on the controller as does the throttle servo?

Thank you all again for sharing your knowledge, half the fun is learning about everything. I am not one who only wants to fly.
